Chapter 176: Ye Xue Side Story – Sacrificing My Destiny for Your Peaceful Next Life

***

At Wei Jiang Cemetery.

“Young lady, is it really okay to do that? I heard she and Xia Ruoming were true loves. Doing this seems too cruel to her who doesn’t know the truth,” An Jinrou watched Ye Xue beside her with an amused expression, like someone watching drama unfold. “If they knew that tomb was completely empty, I wonder what expressions would be on their faces.”

“Even if she truly loved Ruoming, she’s still not worthy of staying by Ruoming’s side.” Ye Xue hid behind the tree shade, watching Jiang Ruhua coming to pay respects from afar with disgust while playing with a small box in her hand. “As for that woman, I’m surprised she would come to pay respects to Ruoming.”

“You mean Xu Fengwu?” An Jinrou asked with interest after noticing Ye Xue’s strange expression.

“Yes… I thought she wouldn’t care at all, since I’ve felt she was that kind of person for many years, but she turned out to be the earliest person to arrive.” Ye Xue remarked thoughtfully.

Whether it was the day of the incident or the funeral, Xu Fengwu was always the first to arrive. Although Ye Xue had known the truth early on, she still felt deeply emotional whenever she thought about this matter.

Even though Jiang Ruhua claimed she was the one who loved Xia Ruoming the most, what use was that? Her understanding of Xia Ruoming wasn’t even as deep as that woman whom Xia Ruoming had “resented” for a lifetime.

“Your sister Ye Han took her destiny and achieved this perfect ending of being like lovebirds flying in the sky and branches growing intertwined on earth. Now you, as the elder sister, are going to ruin your sister’s good fortune. Can you really bear to do it… isn’t this also unfair to Ye Han’s destiny?” An Jinrou casually tossed a coin in her hand while half-jokingly speaking to Ye Xue, her eyes fixed on Ye Xue’s face as if trying to find something in her changing expressions.

“…She is equally my ‘sister’.” Subtle changes appeared on Ye Xue’s face, which didn’t escape An Jinrou’s notice. But to An Jinrou’s surprise, Ye Xue’s voice seemed to lack any emotional fluctuation, terrifyingly cold. She rarely encountered someone like Ye Xue, whose facial expressions clearly showed her heart was wavering, yet her words carried no emotional feedback. “This fact won’t change because of anything else.”

“Really? Just because she’s your ‘sister’?” An Jinrou raised her eyebrows, “I feel it’s not just that, is it?”

“Think what you want, An Jinrou.” Ye Xue didn’t show any extra emotion due to An Jinrou’s words, just continued speaking indifferently: “Did you prepare what I wanted? You didn’t ask me to come out today just to talk about these meaningless things, did you?”

Seeing that Ye Xue was unwilling to chat more, An Jinrou placed a platinum Judgment tarot card in her hand, then slowly spoke: “You can take this card to the past, but are you sure you want to do this? Without your heavenly luck, you might deviate from your path even more than in this life.”

“For her, any sacrifice is worth it.” Ye Xue’s words finally lost their iciness, instead taking on a slight melancholy.

“Since you care about her so much, why not reverse time?”

“When we first met, I told you someone would do that in my place,” Ye Xue coldly looked toward Xia Ruoming’s tombstone. “Since that’s the case, it’s better to give this destiny to her, so she won’t walk the same path as in her previous life.”

“You’re so certain? Did ‘that person’ you mentioned tell you this?”

Ye Xue nodded, though she didn’t speak, it was enough to confirm An Jinrou’s question.

“Then… if you had foreseen Xia Ruoming’s death, I mean, if you knew your sister would die before I came, why didn’t you prevent it? Why not try to change everything?” An Jinrou asked curiously. She knew many things in this world, but Ye Xue was the only one she couldn’t see through.

This question seemed to trouble Ye Xue, and after a moment of silence, she finally spoke: “That person said, this life is heaven’s will, fate cannot be defied.”

An Jinrou gently shook her head with a smile, seemingly disagreeing with Ye Xue’s explanation.

Seeing An Jinrou’s apparent disagreement with her thoughts, Ye Xue didn’t explain further, just silently walked to one side.

“Today’s matters, Ye Xue will surely remember in her heart. If we meet again in the next life, Ye Xue will certainly repay you,” After getting what she wanted from An Jinrou, Ye Xue picked up her bag hanging on a tree branch, preparing to leave.

“In the next life, just don’t beat me up to vent your anger and that’ll be fine.” An Jinrou shook her head with a bitter smile. In such matters, she never expected gratitude, and there were many who only regretted when they realized things weren’t as they imagined.

“I won’t, farewell.” Ye Xue walked away on the path of scattered leaves and stone slabs.

“Wait, Ye Xue.” An Jinrou suddenly called out to Ye Xue, who was almost out of sight. “Can you answer one question for me?”

At the end of the tree-lined path, Ye Xue turned around and stopped, seemingly waiting for An Jinrou to speak.

“Can’t you tell me yet? Who exactly is that person you mentioned?” An Jinrou asked. She cared quite a bit about those in this world who were similar to her.

Ye Xue’s lips curved almost imperceptibly, then she asked: “With your abilities, An Jinrou, can’t you foresee who that person is?”

“Actually, I don’t know myself, she never told me her true identity,” Ye Xue continued speaking, completely disregarding An Jinrou’s reaction. “But there is one thing I remember, when I first met her, she told me something.”

【You can call me — Mei.】

After saying this, Ye Xue directly left Wei Jiang Cemetery, leaving behind a disbelieving An Jinrou.

…

【Author: Oh no, An Jinrou’s storyline is getting deeper and deeper, I’m wondering if I should start a separate storyline】

…

After returning home, Ye Xue nostalgically looked at the wooden box placed on the cabinet. The platinum Judgment card was leaning against the wooden box, and Ye Xue’s gaze seemed to be reminiscing about something.

“Ruoming, tell me, have you forgotten what you said when you were little? I’ve remembered it all these years.” Ye Xue’s jade-like hand touched the new wooden box, speaking in a gentle tone, like talking to a lover she hadn’t seen in many years.

But in the blink of an eye, the previously good-tempered Ye Xue suddenly smashed several glass cups on the table, then pushed over the entire table.

“Xia Ruoming, how dare you, just leaving me behind like this.”

“You better live differently in your next life.”

“I’ve done everything I could to help you, if you dare to live like a fool again like in this life, I won’t forgive you for forgetting our oath.”

“Xia Ruoming, you big liar, you couldn’t even remember me even when you became like this, don’t think you can end everything by dying. I will never forgive you. I will keep you forever by my side, making you atone for your sins by my side for all eternity.”

Then she raised the small wooden box again, speaking gently to it: “Don’t you agree, Xia Ruoming.”
